Halo 3: ODST looks like it's shaping up to be a great campaign experience. However, I just can't get over the fact that a gigantic plot hole seems to be overlooked. In terms of story, how can the fact that no Elites are present in the campaign be explained? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the game starts a few minutes after the Master Chief destroys the Scarab in Halo 2, right? This would make sense considering the slipspace event with the Covenant ship happened moments afterward. I know that our character doesn't wake up until a while later, but was that really enough time to completely remove all Elite combat squads from the city and put Brute squads in?
Also, I don't understand how ODSTs can wield the turret. I thought that was supposed to be one of the amazing feats of strength reserved for a Spartan. I am hoping that they can only pick up a turret that has been knocked off of its stand, and can't rip it off its base.It takes place 6 hours after landing. So, about the time of the Death of Mercy and the Flood takeover of High Charity.
